What is the Sinar Rapid Adapter used for?

I have never used one, but I believe it was a sliding adaptor that you would put on in place of the normal groundglass/plate holder assembly. One end of the slide was the normal ground glass, the other was a Graflock type holder for a rollfilm magazine or similar. The idea being that you could focus on the groundglass, slide it out of the way while sliding a rollfilm back into place in one movement.

I guess it could be used with any back that fits a 4X5 Graflock. Polaroid? Digital??
